Original subtitles

My art class is going to Italy for a month.

I've decided that | wanna go. By myself.

You don't think that | should get married.

| don't think you should get married,

but it doesn't mean that I'm not going to support...

You're really hurting my feelings. Why are you doing this?

| trust you and | believe in you.

Can we please do this together?

Like, | know | was a really good salesman.

I'm just not so sure I'm a good father.

Yeah.

You've been doing such a good job with these two.

And | couldn't be able to do what I'm doing without you.

Thank you.

| like you,

like, more than just friends. Um...

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Hey.

Hey, you.

What's up?

You need my astronomy notes or something?

No.

Um...

| might be a little drunk.

Yeah? | can... Like a little bit, though.

I'm getting that, actually. (LAUGHING)

Yeah, that makes sense. (LAUGHING)

Do you need somewhere to crash?

Is your roommate here?

No, he is not.

Your hair is all messed up. (LAUGHING)

Yeah, | wasn't expecting you to...

Um... Actually...

You've been drinking, you know.

You might not know what you're doing.

| don't want...

(BAND PLAYING)

Hey, hey. Turn my vocal up.

OLIVER: Forget it. Just put it back where it was.

Oh, boy.

Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.

(MUSIC STOPS) I'm not feeling it.

Not feeling it.

What exactly aren't you feeling?

Well, if | knew that, then I'd be feeling it, wouldn't |?

| cannot argue that point.

Do you want to, maybe, take 10,

and recharge your batteries,

and we'll come and try it again?

No, | don't need to recharge my batteries, bro.

This is not Oliver Rome's fault right now.

It sounds different than when we left it last night.

It sounds way different. Do you want to come in and hear the playback?

Because | bet you'll change your tune.

OLIVER: It's not going to sound any different.

Because this sounds like you slept on the board last night,

and everything sounds different. CROSBY: Oh, I'm the one

that's half asleep.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's interesting.

You think just 'cause you're pushing buttons... | think all the tones

sound like crap. Whose fault could this be, other than yours?

Fun, right? (BOTH ARGUING)

| hope you weren't planning on sleep tonight. (LAUGHING)

Are you freaking serious right now?

Oh, Rome lost the porkpie. That's not a good sign.

You know this? You see this? You know...

This is happening right now. I'm having a hard time.

"Crosby, I'm afraid my songs suck.

"And my fragile ego, it can't handle that."

"And I'm upset ‘cause | have a demonic baby at home,

“and | haven't slept for seven days."

"| need to get laid, man. What's going on with my life?"

Oh, my God. It's getting serious.

| should get in there. (LAUGHING)

Yeah, all right. Well, good luck.

OLIVER: Whatever, this is my studio right now! Thanks.

(DOOR CLOSING)

(GRUNTING)

(SIGHS)

ED: Hey, it's your partner in crime.

So, guess who just bested you

for the shortest rejection email yet?

"Per your inquiry, the position has been filled."

Yeah, you can feel the love there, can't you?

(CHUCKLES) Anyway, it made me think of you,

so just thought I'd call.

Okay?

Okay.

Bye.

Hey, it’s your partner in crime.

So, guess who just bested you

for the shortest rejection email...

Hey. What are you doing here? Hey, babe.

Is everything okay?

Um, yeah, yeah.

| just, | don't know, | was at home, and you were here,

and | was feeling like we weren't connecting.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, um...

| Know working late is not ideal, but, you know,

until | get out from under this pile,

you know, | just, | got to keep up with it, So...

It's something we can talk about,

but there's no other way for me

to get out from under all of this mess.

| didn't come here to talk.

No, you didn't. (CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES) Uh...

Wow. This is a first.

| mean, if you don't have time...

No, no, | have the time. Okay.

Okay, let me just, be sure that's...

Ow! I'm sorry, | just...

No, no, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

Yeah. Yeah.

(DOOR OPENS)

Good morning. Hmm.

So, um, that was fun last night.

God, I'm so hungover.

Are you all right?

Are you waiting for one of these?

Oh, no, you can go ahead. Great, thank you.

(SIGHS)

Okay, well, have a good day, | guess.

NATALIE: Hmm.

And | picked up your prescriptions, so... Hmm.

Well, how come | need two boxes?

What, am | getting worse?

No, | just picked up another one.

So you wouldn't have to think about refilling them.

Oh. Thanks. Here, sit down for a minute.

Okay. Um...

This is AMEx. Yeah.

Mortgage. Okay!

And | made a cheat sheet for you.

All the numbers you could possibly need. Um...

The hotel, of course, where I'll be staying.

Uh... The art school.

The Brunskys. Who?

The Brunskys. Brunskys?

Our neighbors. Next door.

Oh. Huh!

This is very nice. All the numbers are here.

Everything you could possibly need,

except for the alarm code,

which you have in your head, right?

Give me a hint.

Our anniversary.

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

So, you're all set, you know.

It's just... Yeah. Thanks, honey.

I'm all set.

‘Cause you're gonna be here all by yourself.

Yeah, I'll be fine.

Okay?

(CAMERA CLICKS)

All right. All right, Mad Max. This is good.

Let's try the 100 macro with the lens hood now.

100 macro with lens hood.

Why is there a picture of Aunt Sarah in here?

Why are you in there, Max?

Come on, huh. You gotta stay out of my stuff.

You told me to get a lens hood.

Yeah, | did.

Lens hood. Come on, let's go. We're almost done.

l|sawa movie about a serial killer.

He kept hidden pictures, too.

They're not hidden. Only he hid them under his bed.

Okay, they weren't hidden, Max. They're in a drawer.

Serial killers are 91 percent male, 54 white.

Their average IQ is 113,

which is considered above average intelligence.

You're white and male and smart,

so you could be a serial killer.

I'm not a serial killer, Max.

Okay. Okay.

You gotta stop with all the stats and everything.

That's from the Internet. You're on the Internet way too much.

That Wikipedia, it's... Unplug once in a while.

You should go outside. You're pale, too.

Get some sun.

Do you still like her? No.

No, | like her as a friend.

If you don't like her, then why don't you throw the picture away?

Because it's a good picture.

And maybe | just want to keep it. Because you like her.

No, Max!

Well, now you're raising your voice, which means

you're angry or frustrated.

I'm not angry.

I'm frustrated, maybe, yeah.

Look, Max, your Aunt Sarah and l,

yeah, we did like each other once,

and then we stopped, and that's what happens.

It's adult stuff, and it's messy, and it's weird.

You know, we were different people.

Okay, I'm cranky. She's flaky.

We both had baggage.

It didn't work out, that's the point. Baggage?

Yeah, baggage.

Baggage. That's the stuff you bring into a relationship,

if you want to ruin it.

That doesn't make any sense. Suitcases are for trips.

That's right, exactly right. It's a trip.

It's a long trip with a big suitcase

full of pain.

That sounds like a metaphor.

| don't like metaphors.

All right, well, then stay out of my drawers.

Does Aunt Sarah have pictures of you?

(GROANS) You're killing me.

All right, guys, eat up. Man, you're good.

Come get your treat. We just think about lunch

and, boom, it appears. That's right.

Yeah. I'm a magician of food.

No pine nuts in this?

|! would rather die than let there be a pine nut in your salad.

| would kill you. You know, | also

handpicked the strawberries in Humboldt this morning.

You live for this, don't you?

Yes, your digestive habits are my life.

Right? Think about it when | go to sleep at night.

You know, every band needs an Amber, that's what | think.

Yeah, sign me up full time. Full time. Two of 'em.

Yeah. All the time. ZACH: Yeah.

ZACH: Yeah. OLIVER: How about for this guy.

Yeah, you need two, obviously. ZACH: Do you have a cloning machine?

That would be nice. That'd be real nice. (AMBER CHUCKLES)

Hi, honey.

OLIVER: Hey, Rambo.

AMBER: Oliver... RYAN: You got a sec? Got a second to talk?

Yeah. (OLIVER MUMBLING)

Give it a break. Hi, sorry.

He's the worst. So, | just talked to Franklin...

Oh! And he's gonna do it.

He said he'd come up from LA any time we want to,

and he'll be our witness at City Hall.

Oh, oh. (CHUCKLES)

God, that's so nice. I'm so glad.

But?

My mom. After talking to my mom,

| just feel like she's going to want to be a part of it now.

It was a really good conversation, and | feel like...

Oh, that's great, I'm glad that your mom's on board.

That's really important. But, but so,

| was thinking maybe we could have a real ceremony.

Now that things are, like, on board, you know?

Yeah.

Is that okay? |! mean, | don't know.

Wouldn't it be sweet if we had pictures, or if we wanted...

| mean, | figured all that stuff out. Is that... Are you mad?

I'm sorry I'm, like, switching a lot, but... No, no, hey. Hey.

Whatever you want to do, okay?

(GIGGLES)

So, what do you want to do?

Oh, um...

| mean, let's make a plan. Yeah, | don't know.

We should both sit down and... Hey, kitten,

| need a little sea salt action.

| have to go deal with this. I'm so sorry. Okay.

(MAN SHOUTING) Well, you said we have

things that we need to talk about. When are we gonna?

But let's talk about it when | get home and we'll get going, okay?

| love you too. Love you, love you. Bye.

God, let me dig up some sea Salt.

(AMBER GROANS) OLIVER: You don't kiss me like that.

AMBER: Yeah, well...

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

JULIA: Mom, the mashed potatoes are killer.

They're so good. Max. Max, put the camera away.

We're eating... Dad, it's okay.

Grandpa wants you to shut the camera up. That's so sweet...

Julia, where's Joel?

Joel is, uh, he wanted to be here, but he's working late again.

SARAH: Again? How's Pistol Peet treating him?

Peet is working him late nights.

She's a slave driver. She's keeping him on his toes.

It's good. That's an amazing opportunity.

It's amazing for him.

For us, you know. CROSBY: Oh, yeah, yeah.

(CAMERA CLICKS) Oh, my God. I'm chewing.

All right, Max. No more pictures of Aunt Sarah, Max.

Hank has a huge picture of Aunt Sarah

that he keeps in his drawer.

ADAM: Okay. What?

What? What was that? (CROSBY LAUGHING)

JULIA: That's good gossip. CROSBY: How dressed is she in this...

It's because he liked you, but he says he doesn't like you anymore,

because you're flaky, and you have baggage.

Max, buddy, that is not appropriate talk at the dinner table.

Max, that's personal.

He told you | have baggage?

(CLAMORING) Excuse me. Who has baggage in that scenario?

And he says that you shouldn't marry someone

who has baggage because they're filled with pain.

I'm so sorry. Max, that's personal. We're done.

First of all, are we having this conversation?

This is the greatest conversation we've had in months.

I'm sorry that the baby's missing it.

SARAH: Why am | talking?

Also, Hank and | are best friends too.

You're best friends? Yeah, | spend more time with him after school

than any one person in school, and I'm his only friend,

which makes us best friends. Honey,

I'm sure Hank has other friends.

Actually, he doesn't.

MAX: He also calls me a weird nickname called "Mad Max."

He even calls me "Mad Max" when I'm not angry,

which is really weird. That's not a weird nickname.

That's a cool nickname. That's a great nickname, Max.

CAMILLE: Well, speaking of baggage, | have a little announcement to make.

CROSBY: Oh? CAMILLE: Yes.

My art class is taking a trip. Oh!

We're going to Italy. (ALL GASPING)

ALL: What? That's great.

Wow. JASMINE: That's great, Camille.

CAMILLE: Well, it's like a retreat. A workshop.

For a month. A month?

Dad, this is like your dream vacation.

In your speedo, on the Mediterranean,

eating pasta while Mom works all day,

spill some on your chest... Actually, Dad's not going.

ADAM: What? What?

Dad's not going.

SARAH: You're not going? ADAM: Dad, what's the deal?

It's just you?

Just me.

Why aren't you going, Pop?

Uh, would you pass the mashed potatoes...

oo. .. please?

CAMILLE: Hmm.

ZEEK: Thank you. KRISTINA: This broccoli dish is really good.

JASMINE: Yes. KRISTINA: It is so...

Hi.

Uh-oh. What's this one gonna cost me?

What? What do you need now?

I'm not here to borrow anything.

| should start charging you for this. (SIGHS)

No, | just came to visit.

Really? Uh.

All right, well, how are you?

I'm good.

Uh, how are you?

(BOTH LAUGHING)

As usual, you know. Yeah.

Um...

Listen, I...

What am | trying to say?

It's sad sometimes that it's over between us.

Yeah.

But it's over.

| Know that.

| know, | know.

We discussed that. Right.

We discussed that a while ago. It's just that, um...

You know, Max being here has been so great for him,

and he feels like you're his best friend.

But then, um,

he said a bunch of stuff

at the dinner table about us

that was so surprisingly intimate,

| mean, for you to have talked to him,

and so | just wanted to make sure that you...

(SIGHS)

You know, that you can't be talking to him about me.

First of all, he was talking to me, okay?

(STAMMERING) I'm sorry that you came up.

It wasn't that | came up. It was...

Well... It was the content of...

| don't know what you want me to say.

It's like 20 questions with this kid, that's all.

But, you're the adult. You don't have to give him 20 answers.

That's all I'm saying. It's not like, I'm...

I'm sitting writing you love songs,

and singing it to him, okay?

| Know. (STAMMERING)

I'm not saying that you are doing anything like that. You know, he came to me,

Max, and | thought | was doing something good for this kid...

You are doing something good.

(STAMMERING)

| don't like this, you know. Look...

(STAMMERING) This is... | got a business to run,

and maybe he just shouldn't be here,

because he is a little grating.

No, don't, that's not what I'm saying.

I'm not saying he shouldn't be here. Well, that's what | am.

lam saying that, okay? | gotta do things around here,

and | shouldn't have a kid walking around here, okay?

This is a business. It's a business. No, please.

Don't do this. | got a job to do right now.

| gotta do, uh...

| gotta do a shoot right now. Okay.

(SIGHING)

(DOOR OPENING)

What about nights There were those nights

When we would dance in the lights

What about this on the way back down

(MUSIC STOPS) | mean, it just, it sounds...

That sounds like Oliver Rome is boring Oliver Rome.

Yeah, which | did not think was possible.

This is exactly why labels gave artists drugs in the '70s.

| have no idea what to do for him.

Have you guys ever seen them live?

Uh, no. Mmm-mmm.

Okay, | saw them a couple of times at the Red Devil,

and it was actually very good.

Oliver had, like, a lot of energy,

and he was really charismatic and stuff.

Really? Well, apparently he doesn't find the Luncheonette

as conducive to creativity as the Red Devil.

No. | don't know how to fix that.

Well | was thinking, actually,

|! mean, you know how he needs, like, his ego stroked all the time.

Stroked, yeah. He needs, like, a four-hand massage

with exotic oils and Enya playing. (AMBER LAUGHING)

Right, so why don't we just give him that, and you know,

give him like an audience to perform to here.

What do you mean, right here in the studio?

Yeah, pretty much. Well, how many people are we talking about?

| don't know, as many as we could squeeze in.

We'll make them young and hot, and young and hot...

Well, hot's never a bad thing.

| don't know, Amber. | mean, it's tough enough Huh?

to get these five guys to focus when it's just them.

| don't know about throwing them a party.

No, no, not a party, but, like, an actual concert.

Seriously, like, have it just be a specific event.

To record the song, you know what | mean?

It could work. | mean that's what the Black Crowes did

on Before the Frost, and that's a damn good album.

It's a great aloum. And | don't know, | mean,

I'll organize it and stuff. | mean, | have

their website finished and everything.

You finished the website? Here.

Yeah. You made this?

Yeah, | mean Zach helped,

but, | mean, this is what they wanted. That looks great.

| mean, I'll organize the whole thing, you know.

I'll do social media stuff, and get the word out there,

and find people, and I'll get drinks and stuff,

| mean, if you like the idea.

What do you think?

Why not? I'm up for it. All right, let's go for it.

Yeah? Yeah? Let's do it.

ADAM: Yeah. Great.

CROSBY: Maybe we could bring Mom and Dad here and sort this out.

SARAH: | don't know, but | don't understand

why they're taking separate vacations at all.

Have they ever done that before?

ADAM: No, something must have happened.

Well, they're clearly in a fight.

BOTH: You think they're having a fight?

It's probably just because it wasn't Dad's idea to go to Italy.

"I'm mad at you. I'm going to Italy?"

Italy's outside of Dad's comfort zone.

Listen, here's exactly what's happening.

He's pouting right now because he probably suggested,

like, going on some ballpark tour of America,

and she said "no," and now he's pouting. ADAM: A road trip.

ADAM: Yeah, well, he can be pretty stubborn.

SARAH: Yeah, but who pouts about Italy? Just go. CROSBY: Dad.

CROSBY: | just think the timing sucks ‘cause, you know,

why is she going now when

there's a grandbaby on the ground?

She's not even going to be here?

The good news is Dad can babysit.

CROSBY: Oh, yeah. That's a great idea.

Without Mom? SARAH: What about shopping?

Dad doesn't even know how the grocery store works.

Yeah, we're going to have to sit down...

SARAH: We're gonna have to make a grid.

| don't have time for Dad's schedule.

Oh, you don't have time? No, he's a pain in the ass.

I'm a freelance photographer.

You never know when the dogs are going to call.

Why is this all about Dad? What about Mom?

What about Mom, who's taken care

of everyone else her whole life?

And, let me tell you, Dad doesn't listen to her.

When she tells him what she needs,

he doesn't listen to her. And so she's doing something for herself

for the first time probably in, you know,

however long they've been together.

So she's going to Italy.

Dad can damn well deal with it, and so can you.

I'm getting sugar.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

Sorry.

Oh. Oh.

Hey, Nat. Hey, what's up?

Nothing, | was just walking,

and my sister, actually, is doing this thing.

At the Luncheonette, the recording studio... Oh, yeah, yeah.

Well, they're doing this thing

where they're recording a band,

like, a live performance in front of people.

That sounds cool. What band?

Uh, they're called Ashes of Rome.

| Know. (SIGHS) Yeah, uh, | don't know them.

You'd probably like it, though. | mean,

| was just going to say we could meet there or something, if you wanted to.

Yeah, that sounds cool. Yeah. Okay.

I'm actually going to be late for class,

so just, like, text me the deets.

We'll figure it out later. All right, see you.

Well, later.

Oh, oh.

Victor! Come here, please.

Sydney, | told you to put your craft stuff away.

SYDNEY: In a minute. We're doing something.

Now! Get over here!

| told you three times to put this away!

Victor, this was on the stairs.

| nearly died. This is out of control.

You guys need to get upstairs,

put this stuff away where it belongs.

Just...

All right?

(GASPING)

(SIGHS)

(LINE RINGING)

JOEL: Hey.

Joel. Uh, hang on one second.

Do you want the early guys off, or are we looking at overtime?

No, no, they're done. No overtime?

No overtime, no. Thanks.

Hey, is this a booty call? No.

This ts... No, it's not. Um...

Sorry, um... What is it?

Just... The kids' mess, | just...

| lost it.

| lost it in a whole new way.

I'm sure it wasn't that bad, honey.

Trust me, I'm giving them ammunition

for any future therapy they might have. It was bad.

Just be firm, you know.

No screen time until their room's in order, that's it.

Or take them to your dad's,

you know, if you need a break. He's great with them.

It's not just the kids, babe, it's me.

(STAMMERING) I'm losing it a little bit.

Joel, my guys are supposed to get overtime.

What are you doing? | know, | know, Gabe.

Just... Let me just, can you give me one second?

One second, buddy. Sorry.

Um... Hon, I'm sorry.

| know It's stressful, and I've been there.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. I'll let you go. Okay.

Love you. (LINE DISCONNECTS)

(SIGHS) (PHONE DINGS)

(LAUGHS)

Okay.

Little Nora's all situated for her daddy day.

Thank you for helping facilitate that. (SIGHS)

| think | have a couple of minutes

before Heather gets a hold of me. (SIGHS)

(SIGHS) Sorry. I'm so out of it. I...

Do you want something to drink?

| haven't even been... Oh, no,

I'm good. I'm coffee'd out.

I've had two cups. Are you sure?

Yeah. How are you? How are you doing?

I'm okay. Yeah?

I'm a little, I'm a little stressed. (CHUCKLES)

| Know. Planning a wedding is a big deal.

Yeah. It's a lot of work.

And you know, it's just that,

on top of, like, dealing with the band stuff,

(SCOFFS) and we don't know what, you know, we want to do...

And | don't, | don't know, it's just been, it's like, stressful.

It's crazy. It's very stressful.

Was it like this for you? Does it, | mean...

Planning? What was it even like,

| don't even know anything about it.

How did he even propose?

(SCOFFS)

You really want to hear that story?

Yeah. | mean, it's a great story.

| love telling it. It's, um... Mmm-hmm.

Gosh, | feel like it was, like, a lifetime ago. Um...

| was So young. We were both so young. And...

He actually proposed to me the day after Valentine's Day.

(SCOFFS) Like, who does that?

But it was so sweet, because he knew how much | hated Valentine's Day.

| think it's, like... | don't know, so manufactured,

and fake, and just, like, for everybody else.

So he decided to ask me to marry him on the 15th.

God, it was so cool. It was like,

both in grad school.

You know, we'd only been living together for about a month.

And we woke up early one morning,

and it was just this really gray,

and sort of rainy, romantic morning,

and we were lying in bed,

the two of us, um, and listening to the rain,

and he reached out, and grabbed my hand,

and he asked me if | would spend

the rest of my life with him.

It was So simple, and just so pure, and, sounds corny,

but it was just beautiful.

(CHUCKLES) And it just made sense.

| mean, I'm sure you feel the same about Ryan,

and you know, it's something I'll always treasure.

It was the one thing in my life that...

That just made sense.

It still does.

(PHONE DINGS) My God.

Sorry. It's Heather. | gotta go.

Uh... Go. Yeah.

Okay. I'll see you soon.

Thanks. That was nice. Yeah, sure.

See you soon Bye, babe.

Okay. (SIGHS)

(EXHALES HEAVILY)

(DOOR CLOSING)

So this is top of the line. Well...

Guaranteed to fit into 90 percent of overhead compartments.

Really? Well, it looks top of the line. Yes.

Oh, my gosh, when | was traveling so much

for all those depositions, it saved my life.

This, the wrinkle-free compartment,

holds so many clothes. Really?

| went on their website and wrote a testimonial. It's...

It's that good? Yeah.

(LAUGHING) Thank you, sweetie.

So thoughtful of you. You're my thoughtful girl. You're welcome.

Are you sure you're not going to need this?

Yes, I'm sure.

It's just taking up room in the closet.

So this is...

This is for you.

This is for Italy.

Yeah. I'm proud of you.

I'm proud of you for doing this.

Me too. Yeah.

You know, Dad and | have been together so long.

We've been practically joined at the hip.

| forget sometimes that we're two separate people.

You know, he's such a big personality, you know?

A huge presence in the room.

This time it's not about him. It's about me.

About what | want.

What makes me happy, and going to Italy,

it's about me.

It's about the other person in the marriage.

What?

Oh.

(CRYING) Sweetie?

I'm just so happy for you. Come here. (LAUGHING)

Aw! Oh.

All right, come on in, you guys.

Drinks over there, and just find a spot to sit, okay?

Here, you want these?

Here you go, if you want them.

Here you go, if you want them. ZACH: Thanks.

| need this. I'm sorry. I'll get you, thanks.

Hey, hi. How are you? Thanks for coming.

Hey, have you seen Oliver? No, sorry.

Okay. Hi.

How's it going? It's good to see you.

Thanks for coming. Hi, how are you?

It's good to see you.

Thanks for coming, you guys.

Yeah, have a good time.

Don't forget to tell all your friends to buy the album.

He's hiding out in the bathroom.

He said he needs to be alone so he can focus his energy,

You might go steady eventually, too.

Together, but also not.

Together? Kind of.

lam so happy.

Thank you for coming.

Hey, Dad.

Hey.

Ah!

Heard it's a big day, huh?

The alternator's going in today, you know.

Yep. Yep.

Uh-oh, you got that “Adam concerned" look on your face.

What's going on with you?

Italy, Dad.

Italy. Yeah.

Oh, your mom's big trip, huh?

Yeah, and understandably, we're all wondering why you're not going.

Oh, yeah. So...

All of you wondering. You're the delegate, are you?

lam, and we all Know there's got to be some bigger reason

why you decided not to go.

I'm not going because | don't want to go.

All right, maybe it's not about what you want.

Maybe you need to think about what Mom wants for a change.

Can you do that for her?

Oh, my God, | can't believe you're saying that. What?

Hold it, hold it, hold it.

Give me a hand up, would you?

Just pick me up here. Yep.

Okay, Adam, I'll tell you what's going on here.

She wants to sell the house, you know.

Your mother wants to sell our house.

What? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.

She talking like, all of a sudden we're in the third act

of our lives, and, like, we're doing some kind

of a play or something, and since we're in the third act

of our lives, we should be moving into something smaller,

like maybe a condo, that's shaped like a box. Okay.

And then we can go to all these cultural affairs,

and we can go see museums, and, by the way,

we can get on the BART to go do that. Okay.

That's what she's talking about. I...

Well, that's not my life.

This happens to be my life, and this is our home.

Okay, | get it, | get it, okay?

(SIGHS)

For what it's worth, | don't want you to sell the house.

Okay, but maybe we can allow Mom a little space to just be able to

introduce this for conversation, you know?

Plenty of couples your age think about downsizing.

Oh, now wait a minute. Don't, don't say, did you say "Our age"?

| did, I'm sorry. What does that mean, "Our age"?

Dad, you know what I'm talking about, okay.

She's not coming from outer space, here.

It's, like, people do that, and maybe, look,

maybe you can just table the house for right now,

and you can just go to Italy.

Have this adventure with your wife, and, you know,

this will be here for you when you get back,

and you can deal with it, but, Dad, just, you Can go away.

Get a little time, a little perspective.

Oh, come on, I've got a lifetime of perspective.

| don't need perspective. God, Dad.

I'm just asking you to suck it up and be a man,

and go to Italy with your wife. Oh, my God. | can't believe...

What? You're telling me to suck it up?

You're talking to your father like that? Let me tell you something.

| will tell you the real reason I'm not going.

Okay, tell me. Okay, okay.

I'll tell you why.

| was not invited.

(BOTH SIGHING)

(SIGHING)

(PHONE RINGING)

ED: Hello. Hey, it's Julia.

Hey.

I'm sorry | didn't call you back until now. | just...

How are you?

Oh, fine.

Job hunting,

doing a few things around the house before | pick up the kids.

Uh-huh. How are you?

Uh...

Really not good.

And don't tell me that

everything's gonna be all right. | would never tell you that,

‘cause it's not. Just ask my wife.

Sorry. That was low-hanging fruit.

She's actually the optimist around this house.

So what's going on? | don't know.

I'm all over the place.

| mean, I'm either yelling at my kids,

not communicating with my husband

in the 10-minute windows that we have,

generally making everyone miserable, including myself.

This is sounding way worse than | intended,

but it's been, it's been a rough week.

Yeah, same here,

and then my phone rang,

and it suddenly got a lot better.

(BELL RINGING)

Oh. Hello.

Yeah, I'm gonna make this quick,

and I'm not gonna come in.

| didn't ask you in.

Yeah, uh, | was thinking about what you said,

about Max, and the whole “best friend" thing. Hmm.

Yeah. Look, | don't know, friends, best friends,

| don't... Labels, that's not me. Hmm.

I like him. | like Max.

Smart, talented kid, you know,

and he's a camera nerd, like | used to be.

Used to be?

You still got it.

Look, he's eager.

God, he's eager, this kid.

I'm not saying he doesn't have his moments,

but I'm showing him the ropes,

and it's good for him.

And it's good for me.

So the kid stays.

Thank you. Yeah.

Good, thank you. You ain't gotta thank me.

And by the way, there were, like, seven or eight

other pictures of you | had scattered around.

| got rid of them so you won't come up

in conversation anymore.

Shut up.

All right. What did you do?

You did your hair different?

ls your hair different? Hmm? No.

Or your teeth? Did you do...

Did | do my teeth different? No, they're just my teeth.

What are you saying? I'm trying to get out.

Oh, okay.

All right. I'll see you later.

You just say goodbye.

RYAN: Okay. No peeking, all right?

(SIGHS) Ryan, what is this?

I'm stressed out. One second. Don't look!

Are you looking? Okay, I'm not. | didn't.

(SIGHS)

Okay, open them.

(CHUCKLES)

The first time | asked you, it was impulsive,

and it was spur of the moment,

and since then I've had nothing but time to think about it,

and | couldn't be more sure.

My life changed the day that | met you,

and | don't want to spend another day of it without you.

| love you.

| want you to be my wife.

Ryan.

What? That's... We can't afford this.

Are you kidding? Yes, of course we could. | soent my combat pay on it.

| wanted to spend it on the right thing, and this is it.

(STAMMERING) That's too much.

No, no, no.

and | was saving it up. | wanted to...

Are you sure? I...

I've never been so sure of anything, ever.

Um, you gonna invite me in?

Or should we do another one of these?

Oh, right, yeah. Pound that?

Ha, ha, great. (LAUGHING)

I'm confused.

Honestly, | mean...

We're friends, you know.

We're also more than friends,

you know, and you don't want a boyfriend,

but then also, you're here.

Yes.

(SOFTLY) | guess | should just stop talking.

Mmm-hmm.

| don't Know why you won't let me take you.

There's still time, you know. (LAUGHING)

Because this is so much easier,

and you get to go back to bed.
